Suddenly, Ji Xinyao's sharp eyes saw a familiar black Land Rover parked at the end of the bridge. When she saw the familiar license plate number, she hurriedly asked Qin Muyan to stop the car -

The red Ferrari quickly stopped on the side of the road. Qin Muyan glanced at her doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xinyao didn't say anything, just opened the door and got out of the car. She looked at the police cars that almost surrounded both ends of the Jiangwan Bridge from a distance, and walked over.

Qin Muyan turned his head and watched her walking quickly in that direction. He also got out of the car helplessly. He looked around and noticed that the situation nearby seemed a bit unusual. His eyes changed and he quickly stepped forward with his long legs.

, walked up behind her in three steps and held her back: "It's not safe here. Don't go there alone as a woman. Follow me."

"Isn't it safe?" Ji Xinyao looked back at him.

"Dozens of police cars will suddenly be dispatched. I'm afraid there is some action. Most of the citizens in the area have been cleared. Don't go over and cause trouble!" At this time, Qin Muyan no longer joked casually, but held her hand down seriously.

Looking over his shoulder, he turned to look at the black Land Rover at the end of the bridge: "I saw Nancy's car. With him here, nothing will happen. Let's go."

Hearing Qin Muyan's words, "As long as he is here, nothing will happen." Ji Xinyao paused and glanced at Qin Muyan in surprise.13acv.

"Silly girl, even if you are an employee of my company, as a media person you should have the keenest sense of smell and insight so that you can get first-hand news, but now my direct boss has asked you to give up this piece of news.

Why are you still standing here? Are you afraid that if you don't get the news, you won't get paid?" He chuckled, forcefully pulled her towards him, and then pulled her back to the car for a moment.

"But..." Before she could finish her words, he dragged her away.

When the two returned to the car, Ji Xinyao subconsciously looked back at the Jiangwan Bridge surrounded by police cars: "I heard that there have been several shooting cases in G City recently..."

"No matter what happens, just stand still in the safest place and don't go anywhere where there is danger!" Qin Muyan glared at her and started the car again.

She curled her lips and said nothing more.

"Besides, based on what I know about Nancy, no matter what happens on the bridge, since he will go there in person, there must be complete protection measures and nothing will happen." He said disapprovingly while driving.

"Why are you so sure? Even the best strategist will make mistakes sometimes." She sneered.

"I'm not sure about others, but I believe in Gu Nanxi's methods 100%. Do you think that his great achievements in politics in the past five years were all achieved by luck?" As he spoke, Qin Muyan suddenly raised a challenge.

Eyebrow: "By the way, do you know Nancy?"

Ji Xinyao's face suddenly stiffened: "Why do you ask that?"

His eyebrows raised again: "Why aren't you very curious about his identity, and yet you seem to know it completely?"

"...After you drank too much that day, you said that he was the mayor of City G." Ji Xinyao didn't even blink when she said this.

"real?"

"of course it's true."

Qin Muyan nodded: "So that's the case, no wonder you're not surprised."

"How did you and Gu Nanxi meet?" To prevent him from asking further questions, Ji Xinyao directly changed the subject.

"We?" Qin Muyan chuckled.

"We are Harvard alumni first, but the damn thing is that Nancy is obviously the same age as me but two academic years ahead of me. Do you remember that I have been studying abroad for several months every year since I was 17, sometimes...

I went to further my studies and spent the rest of my time studying at Harvard. It was at Harvard that we met. We were both 17 years old at that time. He was a Harvard prodigy widely rumored in the United States at that time. He completed four years of study in two years. He was 18 years old.

I established a small company in Boston at that time. At that time, Qin's company had just started. I was also young and had just entered the shopping mall. The two of us had a business relationship. Later, something happened at a school celebration.

...The two of us had a big fight..."

"You two? Are you fighting?" Ji Xinyao was surprised.

Qin Muyan smiled and said: "Men are so energetic when they are seventeen or eighteen years old. Although Nancy was already very restrained at that time, she was still young after all. When the two of us later became brothers, we were also in school.

Fighting inside and outside. You would never imagine that when we, eighteen years old, were beating up a dozen strong men with knives in the dark streets of Boston's red light district, Nancy looked gentle and acted in a serious manner.

, those four or five strong men holding knives couldn't even touch a hair on his face, I was shocked at that time, I didn't expect that he was so agile and quick, and he knocked down four or five of them in just a few blows!"

"Before that time, Nancy and I had a normal relationship, but after that experience, you should know that the police can't even control the gangsters who kill people on the dark streets in that kind of place. That day, he saved my life.

I also saved his life, and the two of them cherished each other and became the most intimate brothers."

"He graduated two years earlier than me. After graduation, he returned to China to visit his family once, and then returned to Boston. He spent three years developing the Gu Group into the world's hottest Gu Group. We have known each other for many years, and I

I watched every step he took with my own eyes. In the mouths of outsiders, the Gu family who rose like a myth in the past had gone through many difficult roads. I also watched Nancy with my own eyes during those years.

When dealing with people, every step he takes will be carefully considered, and he will never make a bet rashly unless he can ensure that everything is foolproof."

"That's why he has the same style in politics over the years. Therefore, whether the opponent is the gangsters or corrupt officials he wants to fight, he naturally has his own way, and he is not a person who is unsure of what to fight.

Battle. So I said, since the others are there, nothing will happen."

Ji Xinyao nodded and asked curiously: "But why did he give up business and join politics?"

Qin Muyan curled his lips, but did not answer. The car had stopped on the side of the street in Nippori. He looked around: "There are so many communities around here, which one do you live in?"

"Uh... I can just get off the car here." As she said that, Ji Xinyao no longer cared about the question he had not answered just now. She was afraid that he would find out that she lived in a place like Nippori and get suspicious, so she hurriedly opened the car door and got out of the car.

Got the car.

"Hey, Xin Yao...?"

The car window slowly lowered, Qin Muyan looked back at her figure who turned away, and said loudly: "You have to take medicine when you have a cold. Your body is the capital of revolution! Stop hating taking medicine like you did when you were a child, do you hear me?"

After saying that, he smiled, started the engine and drove away.

Ji Xinyao froze in her steps and raised her hand to rub her nose.

Was her nasal sound so severe when she spoke just now? Qin Muyan could actually tell that she had a cold...

The cool breeze of the autumn night blew, and she shivered suddenly, and a drop of unstoppable nasal water flowed out from under her nose...

Ji Xinyao sniffed hard, damn, it seemed like she really needed to take medicine!

The sky was a bit dark tonight, and it looked like it was going to rain. She quickly walked towards Nippori.

When she got home, the lights in the room were on, but He Jiezhen was not there. Ji Xinyao felt that her head was getting more and more dizzy. Although she had hated taking medicine since she was a child, she still went around looking for cold medicine and took it.

After taking the medicine, I took a hot bath with a relatively high temperature. I was suffocated by the heat in the bathroom and was sweating all over. I covered myself tightly and ran all the way into the bedroom. Then I had a good night's sleep.

When she woke up the next morning, she was delighted to find that her cold symptoms were almost gone. She admired her body now as "strong as an ox".

She opened the curtains and saw the wetness after the rain outside the window. She slept so deeply because of a cold last night that she didn't even know it was raining. She opened the bedroom door and walked out, finding that He Jiezhen and Gu Nanxi had been together all night.

She didn't come back. Although she felt a little strange in her heart why neither of them came back, she also understood that if He Jiezhen hadn't been here, Gu Nanxi wouldn't have lived here at all. What should she be surprised about?

Ji Xinyao, you have always been alone. You eat alone, sleep alone, catch a cold alone, and take medicine alone. You are already used to it, aren't you?

Is it possible that the "fun and harmony" performed in just two days changed the life you were already accustomed to?

She sighed and followed her usual habits. She went into the kitchen, took out the remaining box of instant noodles from the refrigerator, boiled a pot of water, walked out of the kitchen and went into the bathroom to wash up.

A few minutes later, the electric kettle made a "chichichi" sound, which meant that the water was boiling. Ji Xinyao ignored it. Her mouth was full of toothpaste. She lowered her head and took a sip of the water in the glass, slurping it in her mouth a few times.

, spit it out again, rinsed his mouth several times, then lowered his head in satisfaction and was about to wash his face.

Suddenly, a "click-" sound of a door opening came to my ears.

She subconsciously poked her head out from the glass door of the bathroom, and saw Gu Nanxi, who had not returned home all night, walking in with the morning mist and dew on her shoulders, her coat put in her arms.

As soon as she walked in the door, she noticed the sight coming from the bathroom. Gu Nanxi glanced sideways and saw that the little woman had a mouth full of unwashed toothpaste, and her moist eyes were wide open.

He seemed surprised and looked at him blankly.

His beautiful eyebrows raised slightly: "Are you stupid?"

Ji Xinyao suddenly came back to her senses and realized her embarrassment. She hurriedly closed the bathroom door, ran the water and washed her face. After two or three minutes, she opened the bathroom door again and walked out.

Gu Nanxi silently picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, flipped through it, and sat on the sofa.

When she came closer, she didn't smell the smell of cigarettes and alcohol lingering on him from those so-called husbands who stayed away all night. Instead, she smelled a fresh and comfortable smell like the forest after the rain.

"Why... why are you back at this time?" she asked doubtfully.

He raised his eyes and glanced at her, then put down the newspaper for a moment. He didn't answer her question, but just looked at her face: "Why is your face so ugly?"

"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." She raised her hand and touched her face, and unconsciously squeezed out a smile.

He looked at her for a while without saying anything. He got up and was about to pour some water when he saw a bucket of instant noodles on the kitchen cabinet. He paused and glanced sideways at her: "You usually eat this in the morning.

thing?"

Ji Xinyao curled her lips: "It's just instant noodles. I don't have much time in the morning. It's already good if I can eat instant noodles that are ready to eat in three minutes."

He didn't speak, continued pouring water, and poured himself a glass of water at the water dispenser.

Gu Nanxi seems to have the habit of drinking a glass of water in the morning. This habit is the simplest way to maintain health. Ji Xinyao really noticed that as long as he is not too busy at work, all his living habits will be very regular.

Healthy, at least not like her who becomes sloppy as soon as she takes some time off.

Seeing him return to the sofa, pick up the newspaper again, and drink water while reading the newspaper. He was very leisurely. Ji Xinyao felt that he was a little weird today. Anyway, He Jiezhen was not at home now, so they didn't need to

No longer pretending to be loving and harmonious, she simply ignored him, went straight into the kitchen, made herself a bowl of fragrant noodles, and then sat down to wait for three minutes before eating.

In the silence of the room, Ji Xinyao could only hear her own gentle breathing and the occasional sound of reading newspapers from the living room.

Three minutes later, Ji Xinyao opened the paper cover of the instant noodles and was about to eat. She stirred it with a small fork. She lowered her head and opened her mouth and was about to eat. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to catch a glimpse of the kitchen door.

The figure standing there at some point put down the fork, turned around, and looked in shock at Gu Nancy, who was standing in front of the kitchen door, looking at her with her arms folded across her chest with a half-smile.

"You want to eat too?" She asked stiffly, not knowing what to say.

"Are you willing to give me half as much?" His words didn't sound like he was joking.
